Villa Westergård

Location and atmosphere

Villa Westergård is a course centre in the vicinity of Tammisaari (15 km). The main building dates back to 1886. The farm has Icelandic horses, goats, dogs, cats and rabbits. Your hostess is a shindo instructor, as well as a couple therapist, a Tantra and meditation teacher. The farm includes a small garden, and the buildings are being renovated using timber, clay and traditional paints.

Facillities

For the visitors are available simply decorated rooms sleeping two to four persons, on the first floor of the main building, sharing toilets, showers, a sauna and a quiet/meditation room. Also camping is possible. Breakfasts and vegetarian meals are provided (some 90% of the ingredients are organic). House specialities include non-yeast spelt bread and various goats cheeses. The guest rooms are in connection to the community living space so staying here is more like staying in the family home than staying at a hotel!
